Gail arrived yesterday in Heathrow. We picked her up and brought her directly to a pub for the full English experience.

Her flight went well; she got an entire row of seats to herself and was able to stretch out and get some sleep. We are all very happy to see her!
This morning the sun was shining and we went for a walk along the canal.

I first saw this car on my morning run when it was still in the canal. Apparently, they didn’t think the sign I posted about previously was clear enough. The men recovering the car claimed it was a rental. I hope they got the extra insurance!

We found this sign on the way home from the sunken vehicle. I love it!

I think spring is officially here. After lunch, we went to Pickford’s House, a Georgian period house. In the garden we found the first blooms of the season. Spring flowers always make me happy!


River had a nice time acting the part of a fine young lady.
